In their homes they told their families that the Republican ticket might not win a crashing smashing victory (candid Senator Moses figured party success by only 22 electoral votes out of 531) but it would be enough to keep the President in the White House another four years and thereby insure the country's safety...

They manage to keep most of the honors to themselves as they trudge through several thousand feet of film which broke at odd intervals throughout the evening. Clark it seems had had an unlucky break in his first marriage so, although he loved Joan very much and she loved him, he would not run the risk of a second flasco. They therefore settle upon a very satisfactory, if unoriginal method of solving what, save in Hollywood, is a very perplexing problem...
